The ending also seemed extremely abrupt. Too much was trying to be resolved in a matter of DAYS and the characters glossed over so much and so much was implied that it seemed impossible and unrealistic for them to be how things would unfold.
This book had so much promise but ended up falling so flat. I wanted more for and of every character but wasn’t given a fraction (felt very indicative of how they were treated I’m sure - maybe it’s stylistic).

Also, I think the buildup to the resolution was excellent and really good, but the way the resolution was actually executed felt kind of rushed and did not feel like it was earned (even though it should have!), so I was a bit bummed out from that.
